Livio Sassetti 2006 Pertimali Sangiovese Grosso (Brunello di Montalcino)
- Online Exclusive
- $55
The 2006 Pertimali tastes better than the 2006 Riserva and the 2007 Brunello. This wine is uniquely characterized by bold freshness and richness showing the clean and precise quality of Sangiovese fruit. The aftertaste is long, spicy and firm. Give this wine 5–10 more years.

Livio Sassetti 2001 Pertimali Sangiovese (Brunello di Montalcino)
There’s a tutti-frutti glossiness to this wine that helps liven understated aromas such as light coffee, rose pedal, white cherry, cinnamon and violet. Well-structured and constructed with tight, sour tannins on the end.

Livio Sassetti 2006 Pertimali Riserva Sangiovese Grosso (Brunello di Montalcino)
- Online Exclusive
- $85
This wine feels wrapped in sunshine and warmth. There’s ripe fruit, plus leather, barbecue sauce, cured meat and blackcurrant. A soft, plush mouthfeel with a firm tannic backbone lends sensations of dryness and power.

Livio Sassetti 2007 Sangiovese Grosso (Brunello di Montalcino)
- Online Exclusive
- $55
Almost completely black, this wine reveals inky-dark concentration and dark, jammy fruit. Shows power and smoky barbecue aromas of soy sauce, teriyaki, bresaola, cherry liqueur, rum cake, Spanish cedar and sticky pipe tobacco. Cured meat and savory spice as well. Seems extracted and overripe, with hard tannins.
